Cancellation and Refund Policies for the 2009 National
Conference and Related Activities
The cancellation and refund policies have been revised to minimize potential conference and hotel room liability for which NAHRO commits well in advance of conference dates. Such expenses include, but are not limited to, hotel rooms, catering, and attendee supplies, i.e. badges, programs, etc. The following policies apply to:
Conference Registrations: All cancellations must be in writing on company letterhead and submitted by mail or fax. No telephone or e-mail cancellations will be honored. Cancellations postmarked or faxed on or before September 3, 2009 will receive a full refund. Cancellations postmarked or faxed by September 21, 2009 will receive 50% of the registration fee. No refunds will be issued after September 21. No partial refunds will be given for functions you do not attend.
Pre- and Post-Seminars and Exams: All seminar/exam cancellations must be in writing on company letterhead and received by mail or fax. No telephone or e-mail cancellations will be accepted. If your cancellation is received at least 20 business days prior to the start of the course, NAHRO will credit the full tuition amount toward another seminar/exam, which you must attend/take within one year of your cancellation to avoid forfeiting your tuition, or provide you with a full refund (at your option). In the event that you cancel without at least 20 business days notice and do not wish to have your tuition credited towards another seminar/exam (under the terms specified above), a $75 cancellation fee will be retained from your tuition refund to cover administration costs. NAHRO reserves the right to cancel or change the location of any seminar/exam. In the rare event that we should find it necessary to cancel the seminar/exam, you will be notified up to 20 business days prior to the first day of the scheduled event. NAHRO will not be liable for or assume any obligations to any persons who have not registered with us or otherwise received confirmation of their seminar/exam registration. If you do not attend the seminar/exam, after having registered, and do not notify us as specified in the cancellation policy, no refunds or credits will be issued. NAHRO is not responsible for any travel costs made prior to receipt of seminar/exam confirmation.
